Jill Norton and Jay Bonansinga are both professional storytellers -- Jill with a camera, Jay with words -- who happen to be married to each other.  In this crazy-cool podcast they both bring their quirky, twisted, heart-felt obsessions to a different theme every episode -- from true crime to the paranormal, from underground history to scandalous secrets, and sometimes, just some good old banter on a topic.  Episodes often revolve around an exclusive reading of a published work (or other talent) by New York Times bestseller Bonansinga, with subsequent, brilliant, hilarious riffing on the theme by the witty, thoughtful Norton. Often offering her own commentary is a chatty, calico cat named Frida.
